The mobile operating system must use cryptography to protect the confidentiality of remote access sessions.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-32949	SRG-OS-000033-NA	SV-43347r1_rule		Medium

Description
Remote network access is accomplished by leveraging common communication protocols to establish a remote connection. These connections typically will occur over the public Internet. Rationale for non-applicability: Resource constraints on mobile devices preclude implementation of this IA function. The applicability of this control may be reconsidered at a future date if subsequent generations of mobile devices are better able to support this control and the applications and data typically on the device justify its implementation.
